North Melbourne and Gold Coast lead the changes in the leadership department, appointing a new skipper and a standalone captain for the 2025 campaign.

Noah Anderson will lead the Suns as a new era is set to dawn on the Queensland club, while the Kangaroos' Jy Simpkin has been given the nod after Luke McDonald stood down.

Collingwood star Nick Daicos' promotion to vice-captain is without a doubt set to hold him in good stead as the next captain of the powerhouse club.

But not all leadership groups are made up the same.

Some sides have opted for a streamlined leadership team, while others have gone for a much bigger group.

Take a look at who will be your club's captain, vice-captain and leadership group for 2025.

ADELAIDE

Captain: Jordan Dawson
Vice-Captains:ย 
Reilly O'Brien, Ben Keays, Darcy Fogarty and Alex Neal-Bullen

The Crows have appointed Jordan Dawson as captain of the club for the third straight season, with the Adelaide midfielder to be assisted by fellow Malcolm Blight Medal winners Ben Keays and Reilly O'Brien again in 2025.

Sharpshooter Darcy Fogarty has stepped into a leadership role, with new recruit Alex Neal-Bullen also named as a vice-captain ahead of his first year at the club.

โ€œOur playing squad is continuing to evolve and improve, and it's not just about having a greater depth of talent but the understanding of what it takes to be a leader,โ€ coach Matthew Nicks said.

โ€œIt doesn't just fall to the guys who have an official title and instead every player must, and is expected to, drive standards and live our values.

โ€œImportantly, we must maintain a consistent level of performance on and off the field.โ€
